The Cat From Outer Space is likely to keep the under-14's amused, at least if supplemented by plenty of popcorn.

The fun, as usual with Disney pix, comes in the believable sight gags provided along the way. Also as usual, it's a good cast of veterans and nothing to tax them beyond their abilities, all ably kept in pace by director Norman Tokar.
